Garlic Lemon Toasty snack for the evening

     One of the most common "folk" remedies is eating raw garlic to ward of everything from infections to the common cold. With few side effects besides making you smell like garlic, it is a safe way to build your immune system that I've used often. Many of my friends will eat raw garlic when down with a cold or the flu, So I thought I would share some of my favorite ways to consume higher amounts of this sharp tasting bulb.

          I put garlic in just about everything I cook and love it, but when you are trying to consume a whole clove at a time, it can be a little more challenging. The first thing to keep in mind is always consuming raw garlic with a bit of some type of fat. Raw garlic can be unpleasant in the stomach when consumed on it's own. Keep in mind that these "recipes" aren't culinary recipes. They are just tasty ways to take medicinal amount of garlic.

Raw Garlic Toast:

                       Mix one clove of finely minced garlic with one to two tablespoon pastured butter and spread piece of toasted sprouted or sourdough bread. This is also good when dipped into a hot bowl soup.

Garlic Dip:

                      I learned this trick from my mother-in-law. Mix one clove of minced garlic with 1-4 tablespoons of mayonnaise. Serve with organic corn chips. This sounds quite strange but is actually quite good.
